To sign up for text alerts for future meetings, text “NPFMC” to 1-833-237-1598.  Please contact npfmc.admin@noaa.gov if you need help or have questions.

This meeting is being conducted remotely with a web broadcast that provides the opportunity for remote public comment. In the event an outage occurs or technical issues arise that impact the experience of remote attendees, we will attempt to resolve them but ultimately we cannot guarantee that they will be resolved satisfactorily.

What to expect if you are attending a virtual-only meeting

To allow attendees to attend remotely, we will be broadcasting all three meetings, and will allow the public to testify virtually. We will use the eAgenda for public testimony signups. If you would like to present a slideshow during your testimony, please include it as an attachment when you sign up and check the box that you will be using a visual aid and coordinate with npfmc.admin@noaa.gov. We can bring it up on screen for you to share from your attachment.

The meeting will be broadcast on zoom and will continue to be streamed live and stored on YouTube. You will still also be able to follow along with any documents from the eAgenda.

Along with the ability to provide public comment remotely, here are some suggestions to make your comments as effective as possible. 

  1. We have to be able to hear you.  Please find somewhere quiet if you are in a noisy area.  Pull over if you are driving. Make sure your dog has a good chew toy. In short, try and minimize distractions.
  2. If you are using your computer’s audio, please make sure to unmute yourself, make sure the correct microphone is selected, and that the volume on it is turned up. Ensure you have a stable internet connection. 
  3. In the event you cannot testify via zoom, please call in with your telephone to the number listed on the eAgenda.  Make sure you’re calling from the same number you signed up with – that way we know who to unmute when it is your turn. Make sure you have good cell service.  If you are connected by zoom AND by phone, please mute your computer or go in another room or the feedback will prevent you from testifying. 
  4. Listen for your name to be called.  If you have concerns you won’t be available, please email npfmc.admin@noaa.gov.

We will make every effort to allow you to make your comments during the meeting, but if we cannot hear you, or if your internet connection is unstable and cuts out on your comments, we cannot adjust your settings remotely.  If you would like to do a sound check ahead of time, please email npfmc.admin@noaa.gov and we can advise you on the best way to make your voice heard!

We respectfully acknowledge that the Council regularly meets, and its staff office resides, in Anchorage on Dena’ina homelands. The Council wants to honor the Dena’ina, the Indigenous Peoples who have stewarded this land across generations and continue to do so. We are glad to be part of this community, and to honor the culture, resilience, and tradition of the Dena’ina people.
